You can do both, theoretically. The standard usage will only
authenticate the users entry based on their AD credentials

Correct! For Agents, the login information (username, email, first name,
lastname) will be stored in the system_user table, but the password will
be verified by the AD. For customers, all the user information will be
called up every time. This can be cached, but it will not be written in
the DB.

It only has to be a memeber, becuase all AD users can search the AD.

No.
